                        Monday, January 22, 2007

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Wheaton 
Warrenville South Tigers football team for their remarkable victory in 
the Class 8A Illinois State championship on November 25, 2006.
  After a close first quarter, Wheaton Warrenville South pulled ahead 
with three touchdowns in the second quarter. The Tigers' Jim O'Brien 
sealed the deal with an incredible 95-yard kickoff return to defeat Mt. 
Carmel 44-21 and claim the Illinois State championship. The Tigers 
finished the season with a perfect 14-0 record.
  I commend the Wheaton Warrenville South players and coaches for their 
intensity and dedication throughout the season. Their incredible 
performance in the State championship is a tribute to long hours of 
hard work, both on and off the field.
  Tigers, your families, your school, and your community are extremely 
proud of what you've accomplished. You have continued the great legacy 
of Wheaton South football. I wish you all the best in the future. Go 
Tigers.
